For my mom's 60th birthday my sisters and I surprised her by taking her to Salt Lake City for dinner, shopping, and to spend the night at a hotel.

A couple of days before our big "Girl's Night Out" I received the most stunning turquoise necklace, bracelet, and earrings from Lush Boutique. I was very excited to wear them with my sisters and mom while we shopped in Salt Lake.

When I walked out adorning my new jewelry from Lush Boutique, my sister said, "Oh my gosh, you look model-ish!"Who?Me?The girl who was once told she looked like a young Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday?Model-ish?

I don't recall ever being told I looked model-ish. And that's when I decided, when someone tells you you look model-ish, you take it and run, baby. And then you tell others about the brilliant jewelry you were wearing at the exact moment someone told you you looked like a model. Ish.

I have decided that it is important to own a few really nice pieces of jewelry.

Some that are classic.

Some that go with everything.

And some that you can pass onto your daughters or nieces.

Lush Boutique offers exactly this type of jewelry (and no, that is not me in the above image). They specialize in fresh and chic handmade jewelry at an affordable price. Their favorite materials to use are turquoise, sterling silver, semi-precious gems, pearls, and basically anything else that is gorgeous. Lush Boutique offers affordable jewelry that is timeless and fashionably chic.

When she was backing out of the driveway she got in a car accident. It cost $500 (and the person we did it for was staring at her out his window as the cops filed the police report, etc. Needless to say, he became a bit suspicious.)

Elisa Hutchings: For Christmas this year I offered to help my pregnant friend by driving her to school every day. They only own one car which her husband uses to get to work, so I offered to drive her. It was great for us to get to know each other better and she was relieved from having to walk.

Last year I finally moved back into the area where my old friends are and set up a yule dinner, and all they had to do was show up with present in hand and we had a pull later that night. It was all traditional yule, and a huge hit, we're doing it again this year.

Ellen JOhnson We always do the 12 days of Christmas, It has become one of my favorite traditions. We pick families close by, and sometimes we piok families with kids, and sometimes we pick older couples, of someone that is alone.

Becca Stephenson: it just so happens Christmas-time this year coincides with a big overseas move for us. We've been purging and giving away lot so furniture, etc. to friends we know need them. It's been a great feeling and hopefully will help make their Christmas even better.

Katie Harrison: My favorite thing my family used to do was an anonymous turkey dinner drop at needy families' houses that we knew of (someone who had lost a job, had a death in the family, etc). It was so exciting to leave messages of love & food for someone & leave it unknown! I am excited to carry on this tradition now that I'm married. :)

Rachael Lewis: When I was younger we dropped off a Christmas box full of goodies at someone's house in need- it was so fun! My younger sister and I were hiding on the flight of stairs above their apartment when they dragged the box in!

Cyndie Call- we always did the 12 days of Christmas when I was a kid. The only part that wasn't fun was that by about day 3 the people would usually try to catch us, so since my siblings and I were so young my dad would deliver it as we watched from the car down the street. We wanted to deliver it, but we didn't want to get caught.

Christina Lehner: There are so many nice things that others have done during christmas time. My favorite is my husband's marriage proposal by the tree, with him seranading me on his guitar. . . it was picturesque and we've been happily married since!
